    Great 5.2 Receiver. Excellent sound and anticipated reliability. My second 5.2 Sony Receiver purchased within 18 months. Was a terrific value under $200 as well.

    Good receiver. Had an issue with it connecting to the optical cable. It finally connected on the fourth time. Not as loud and clear as my Oncyo receiver but for the price it's not bad.

    What happened to GOOD music audio on this amp??

    It was as great on audio sound on TV and Movies, but spending hours and calls to support, because I just couldn’t get to even a 50% decent stereo sound on Pandora, FM stereo or any music format. Really odd and doesn’t make sense, but tried every trick in the book to get music audio to sound anywhere near decent. Several other reviews said the same thing as I found trying to get a decent music sound from this receiver. Returned and went with a pioneer Elite 105 which BLOWS this away in every category.

    Very disappointed. Good sound but after it heats up it cuts off. If you have a full setup like I have, front speakers, rear speakers, center speaker, along with an active sub...it doesn't do the trick. It cuts off after heating up. I'm using high gouge wire and banana plugs. If you like your music a little elevated as I do this amp doesn't kick.
